[7:15 PM] Lawls: The male and his wyvern got walked out of the forest side by side, nearing the end of the bushy wildlands. The male speaks out loud.
"Ah hah! I told you we were heading in the right direction... Only took a couple of hours... days.... weeks...."
Valentinus looked down to his wyvern and smiled softly as he stretched out his body
"Guess I won't have to cut down any more trees then,"
The male stated as he rolled his shoulder back, his axe shifting up and down when he does so
[7:22 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: You know, I could have just flown through. The forest was not overly thick. A moment of silence from the fur-coated wyvern, before he shakes his head and snorts gruffly. Nevertheless, we have arrived. So what next, Valentinus?
[7:35 PM] Lawls: "From flying all the way from Val? I wanted to give you a break... Plus it gave me a chance to work on my mapping sk-"
Noticing the large prison like building in the distance, the male looks down at his map
"...Is this on the map?"
The male turns it upside down to see if he can get a better angle on the situation(edited)
[7:40 PM] Amasuro: Within the prison, Ellis sat in a small room, overlooking the vast forests and mountain ranges outside the prison. Surrounded by nothing but papers atop her small, wooden, desk, Ellis continues to work diligently on her own before looking up and outside the window.
...Hmm. Am I seeing things? There appears to be a...wyvern emerging from the forest. A wyvern, and another person near it.
Ellis stood from her chair, turning her full attention to the pair leaving the forest.
Scouts? Perhaps, but they are walking too casually for that. They could be travelers, but...I should go check this myself.
She moves to the door of the room, and exits, heading out towards where she saw the wyvern and the person.
[7:44 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: ...Where are we, Valentinus? Something about this place... irks me. Fur standing on end, Nero's mouth is slightly agape, enough to display an impressive row of pointed teeth.
[7:47 PM] Lawls: "We're uh... Uh... I think here?"
The male hesitantly pointed at his map in a vague area.
"But don't worry."
The tallish male, pet the wyverns head in hopes to confort him. Not noticing the woman see them at all as he looked up to the dark building, reeking of bad omens
"I'm sure someone in there will help us... If they notice us."
Valentinus stated as he continued to look at the building
[7:51 PM] Amasuro: Ellis cautiously observes the pair from afar, leaning one hand against the sides of the outer prison wall.
He appears to have chosen to bond with his wyvern at this time. Are they trying to look unthreatening? It might be a trap.
Glancing around the area with her naked eye, Ellis spots no obvious signs of an ambush. Coming to a decision, she shows herself, emerging out of the prisons shadow.
[7:54 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: We have company, my friend. Nero's stance goes completely still, head low and wings raised slightly in a display of wariness. And just one woman, it seems.
[7:57 PM] Lawls: "Hmm?"
Looking back from the prison he looks to the smaller woman and smiles
"Hey, looks like a person noticed us."
With a chuckle the male scratches the wyverns head fuzz and looks to the woman once more, taking a double take. He chooses to keep holding his axe as he looks down
"She looks... Decent enough."
[7:58 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Do not judge a book by its cover, Valentinus. Stay vigilant.
[8:00 PM] Lawls: "...Right."
Looking to the woman with a more kinder suspicion. He thinks whether he should wave or if the woman would greet him first, he was never good with people.
[8:06 PM] Amasuro: Ellis does not yell at the pair, but rather greets the two with a wave. Before venturing too far away from the prisons walls, or going too close to the group, she motions the two to approach her while she stops still in her position.
I still must be mindful of a trap.
[8:08 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: ...Do we? Nero turns his head to his rider. I fail to see any others. An ambush is unlikely. But...
[8:11 PM] Lawls: Giving a polite happy to the woman, Nero looks down towards his wyvern
"Cmon... The ambush is super unlikely... But if we do get ambushed. We can fight em off."
A chuckle admitted from Valentinus as he placed a hand on Nero and moved forward. Shielding him slightly if any harm entered them(edited)
[8:14 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero hesitantly follows, lowering his head to Valentinus' side, in a show of protection.
[8:17 PM] Amasuro: Taking note of the large sized wyvern near the man, Ellis calmly brushes off her black laced dress before finally speaking in a soft tone, once the two approach closer.
"Greetings! Might you have any business in Angrim today?" Ellis asks without a hint of maliciousness.(edited)
[8:20 PM] Lawls: "Hello!"
An awkwardish pause comes between them as the male tries to think up a way to explain what they're doing
"Well uh... Me and my friend here... Kinda uh... Got lost in the mountains while looking for Queen Luna and her group... You wouldn't happen to know where they are would you miss?"
Not at all noticing the woman due to his upbringing, Valentinus held the wyvern close to him. Even though he did not think this woman was a threat. He thought it would help calm Neros nerves
[8:23 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: The attempt fails, Nero simply snorting once. Ask her who she is. I want to know who we're speaking with.(edited)
[8:25 PM] Lawls: "Ah... Alrighty..."
The male said quietly as he looks to the woman
"Uh... May I have your name miss?"
Quietly stating he looks to his wyvern
"How was that"
[8:27 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero grunts, ruffling his wings. I was referring to her role in this place, but that will do.
[8:32 PM] Amasuro: Queen...ah, so he searches for my sister, does he? He intended to join her cause? I wonder what his reasons are.
Ellis holds up the sides of her dress, dipping slightly in a bow, "it is rude to ask for the name of a lady before giving your own. Nonetheless, I will oblige. My name is Ellis Rurijisa, princess of Freyzenwald."
She waits, expecting a name in response.
[8:36 PM] Lawls: "Ah! Sorry miss."
Giving a slight bow sort of thing? It's quite awkward.
"Wait Princess of Freyzen... Wait you are the Lunareas sister are you not?"
Valentinus' manner are below horrendous as he does not state his name back, too busy focusing on the group and where he could find the woman
[8:38 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero has a less friendly reaction, although he does share in Valentinus' surprise. He snakes his neck around his rider's own, baring his teeth ever-so-slightly, enough to have them glint in the sun. ...Human royalty.
[8:44 PM] Amasuro: Nero's reaction doesn't phase Ellis, as she continues to stare towards Val. Her calm eyes showing some warmth, but a subtle flash of annoyance crosses her face at the lack of a name.
"Queen Lunarea is indeed my sister."
[8:46 PM] Lawls: "Oh lovely... So would she and the group be here..."
Looking a slightly down the male states under his breath
"Wait would a sister go with her siblings..."
Shaking his head the male looks back at sister, fiddling with his tome at his side ever so slightly(edited)
[8:49 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero closes his mouth again, but remains in the same stance, eyes not leaving the princess. She seems displeased. I do not trust her. Let us finish this idle chatter promptly, and find her sister.
[8:57 PM] Amasuro: "If you refer to the group, they are indeed here," Ellis spoke to the man firmly, "but I do not wish to divulge more information without knowledge of you. What is your name, sir?"
Her face grows increasingly stern.
[9:00 PM] Lawls: "Oh. ah... Sorry bout that."
The males face becomes apologetic as he looks back to the woman
"Well uh, My name is Valentinus and this is my buddy. Nero."
Giving a small pet the wyvern looks to Nero, as if to say "Say hi Nero."(edited)
[9:01 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Not a sound. Just a pointed glare. He does lean into Valentinus at his touch, however.
[9:03 PM] Amasuro: "Valentinus..." Ellis flicks the word around on her tongue, as if trying to recollect if she had seen the man before in her life.
"Interesting. So you wish to join my sister, do you? I regret to inform you that she is not currently present, and that I am leading her group."
Ellis gestured to the prison behind her.
[9:05 PM] Lawls: "O-Oh...Where is she then?"
Tilting his head, he questions the woman
"And uh, would you have room for an extra two spots?"
[9:10 PM] Amasuro: "Her whereabouts is confidential information. My sincerest apologies, but we cannot answer to just any potential spy so easily."
Ellis frowns slightly at the man, "we are happy to accept you into the group. However...I feel it necessary to know why you wish to join."
[9:15 PM] Lawls: "Well uh..."
Scratching the side of his neck he looks to the women
"Well I'm a scholar you see,"
He states actioning to his tome by his side trying to bullshit his way through, not wanting to tell the woman the truth.
"I've always wanted to travel around and well... This group helps me do so, plus I assume they'll be multiple people here so I can develop my people skills... Oh! And I'm also helping out people. It's a win win."
Happy with his lie the male looked towards the woman
Don't tell her about the academy. Don't tell her about the academy.
[9:17 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero internally winces a little. That... was less than convincing, Valentinus. Let us hope she is as blind and witless as her royalty suggests.
[9:22 PM] Amasuro: Ellis places a hand on her hip, staring deeply at Val.
"Hmm, a rather noble pursuit. You are a scholar? From what nation do you hail from, then? Our own? I hope you are aware of the tasks that my sisters group must overcome in their journey. It is not a simple scholar trip."
[9:24 PM] Lawls: "I-I am miss."
The male stutters ever so slightly as he stands taller looking to his wyvern for encouragement
"And uh... We hail from Valenheim miss."(edited)
[9:33 PM] Amasuro: "Valenheim? That is quite a long ways away. I suppose you do not live there any longer, considering that you simply just emerged before me from a...forest."
Ellis looks curiously at him. Her eyes flickering to the forest.
[9:35 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero's fur stands on end, as if to show off its grassy appearance as an explanation. I used to live in the forest. Is that not reasoning enough?(edited)
[9:38 PM] Lawls: "No miss. We do not live in Valenheim anymore."
Trying to be polite and 'normal' he stands up straight and responds blankly as the Valentinus idley scratches Neros head
Please just let this be over... I'm not good with people...
Looking to his wyvern for comfort the eyed his fur and looks at some of the grassy grime in it
...Ew. We're gunna need to give you a bath before I give ya a hug and your steak... Oh who cares I'll probably give the steak to him before the bath anyway(edited)
[9:41 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero shakes himself off quickly, to little effect. It seems the mud and leaves are stuck for now, until he gets a proper wash.
[9:46 PM] Amasuro: Ellis gives a small glance towards the wyvern, but her stare seems colder than the one she gives Val.
"So I see. Well, you do not...strike me as the type to be malicious to our group, I suppose."
Ellis clasps her hands in front of her dress. A smile finally cracking on her face as she did a quick half bow to the man.
"Well, I believe there should be no issue then. If you desire to join our group, I am happy to oblige."
[9:48 PM] Lawls: Noticing the glare he gives a slight from
...Why's she lookin' at Nero like that...
Shaking it off he gives a slight smile
"Thank you very much miss... Princess?"
The males mish mash of titles somewhat showed that he didn't know how to call the woman, or by which title to do so
[9:52 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero notices the glance, and responds with a less-than-respectful loud shriek, mouth wide open and wings pointed into the air. Not frightening, princess.
[9:54 PM] Amasuro: Ellis gasps, taking a step back with a sudden, frightened look on her face. Though, she shakes it off quickly.
"Please, mind your beast!" She speaks in a huff.
Taking a deep breath, Ellis continues to speak, now calm again, "Princess is am...acceptable word to call me, yes. A-Ah, forgive me, but I must return to my work now. If you still require further assistance, you may speak to some of our group inside this compound."
Ellis does another quick bow, before walking off.
[9:56 PM] Lawls: "Yes mis- Princess."
Val does a quick bow as well before waiting till Ellis walks out of talking distance before laughing heartily at Neros reaction
"Hahaha... Oh gods you really scared her didn't you.."
[10:01 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: I am twice her size, and much stronger than her. You would think she would know to treat me with some respect. Nero is visibly angered by the confrontation, his teeth still bared at the retreating princess. Royalty, the most brazen of humans. You see why I dislike them, now.
[10:04 PM] Lawls: "Yep..."
Giving the dirty fluff a rub. Valentinus then speaks once more
"Hopefully the queen is nicer then the princess. You'd probably expect it... Wouldn't you?"
The naive brown haired wyvern rider looks to his mount with intrigue, seeing if he has any specific opinions on queens
[10:09 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Queens, kings, princesses, they are all alike. They command servants and have the temerity to place themselves above others, but in the face of true danger, they scamper like lowly rats. Nero relaxes slightly, turning his head to face Valentinus. And she has the simple-mindedness to label me as "your beast?" This is one of the reasons I respect you, and you alone, Valentinus. You see me as more than some flying reptile to ride into battle.
[10:11 PM] Lawls: "Well of course."
Valentinus looks to Nero with a side smile
"You're my best friend and buddy."
The one that's always been there for me.
A happy chuckle and a huge smile was planted on his face has he gives the Wyvern a huge hug
[10:12 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero wraps his wings about Valentinus, mimicking his actions. Careful. You may get your armour filthy.
[10:15 PM] Lawls: "I don't caaaaaaaaaare."
To show this the male hugs the wyvern harder, getting his clothes even more dirty
"I and these clothes needed a good wash anyway."
[10:16 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Well, perhaps there's a lake nearby. I think it best we tidy up before introducing ourselves to this group.
[10:18 PM] Lawls: "That sounds like a good idea... I think I saw pond or a lake nearby like... Over there."
Pointing to the right the male smiles
"...I'll race ya."
Giving a grin the male laughs and looks to his friend
[10:20 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: A guttural rumble, akin to a chuckle, escapes the wyvern. Hmhmhm! Racing a wyvern of the Kurong in the forest? A bold move. He raises his wings, and faces the direction to which Valentinus points. Well, on your mark, then.
[10:22 PM] Lawls: "Get set...."
The male places his axe to his side and gets ready
I'm so gonna lose
[10:25 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: And go. The wyvern takes several awkward steps forth before lifting himself into the air, wings working hard to keep Nero elevated. His speed is nothing remarkable for a wyvern, his weight and age slowing him down, but he's certainly quite quick nonetheless.
[10:27 PM] Lawls: The male runs and tries to catch up, it's pretty obvious he was gunna lose but he didn't mind as he ran towards the pond, as the two got closer. One could hear a small waterful and Valentinus' childish laughter
[5:07 AM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Weaving between trees with relative ease, Nero is the first to breach into the clearing. Lucky for him that he's airborne, as the tiny creek he'd been following into the lake ends in a waterfall, dropping into the clear, relatively small lake below. With a loud shriek, Nero circles the lake in his flight, awaiting his rider's arrival.
[5:11 AM] Lawls: Hearing the loud shriek the brown haired male looks behind him
"Haha! Yes I'm winnin-"
The male doesn't notices the drop off as he looks ahead just in time
"Ah!"
Stifiling his feet almost to the point of him falling on his ass, Valentinus looks down and takes a few deep pants
"Ha... Ha... Ha.."
Gods. One more step and I could of...
Cutting himself off before he thought about the quite taboo subject he continues to look down and smiles
[5:15 AM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero descends slowly, coming to a near halt in midair and swooping into a thick branch above Valentinus. Another victory for Nero. Be careful where you step, Valentinus. That is a considerable drop beneath us.
[5:17 AM] Lawls: "Hehe yep... But it seems like that pond is deep enough."
After a few moments of thought Valentinus began taking off his lightly armoured chest at a quickened rate
Diving from a waterfall sounds like so much fun!
[5:20 AM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Going to jump, regardless? Very well. Be careful. Nero takes off again, this time heading straight for the shore of the lake. Once he lands there, he shakes his wings out, turns around, and begins to drink from the lake at a leisurely pace.
[5:24 AM] Lawls: "But that's no fun!"
Joking around he looks to his wyvern
"But alright."
Taking and setting his clothing on the side of the pond the male gets ready to jump in taking a few steps back and breathing in the air first
"...So pretty..."
Shaking his head before he got distracted he paced himself one last time
"Hey! Nero! Watch this!"
The male ran and cannonballed in the pond but not without yelling one single thing
"GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
[5:27 AM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: The resulting splash drenches Nero's head, causing him to back away in surprise. Impressive. You make quite the disturbance.(edited)
[5:30 AM] Lawls: Using someweird hybrid of breaststroke and freestyle. The male swims up and laughs as he looks at wyvern
"Aw, Ya think so?"
Valentinus smiled cheerfully as he waded around in the water, ready to call the wyvern in(edited)
[5:36 AM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Definitely. I was having quite a refreshing drink until that happened. I would say I am thoroughly disturbed. Nero shakes his head violently, lakewater spraying off in all directions.
[5:38 AM] Lawls: "Aww...I warned you before it happened"
Floating ontop the water. Valentinus looks at the wyvern, laughing
"Plus the water's really niiiiiiiiice"
[5:43 AM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: That was a brief warning. Nero approaches the bank again, and tentatively dips one foot in the river. ...It seems alright, I suppose.
[5:45 AM] Lawls: "It's great!"
To show the male dives down and grabs some water in his mouth and makes a small water fountain like thing with his mouth
[5:55 AM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Very well, then. I shall join you. Nero slowly begins to wade into the water. Step by step, he sinks further and further until he's able to spread out his wings and float about.(edited)
[5:59 AM] Lawls: Valentinus smiles as he stops the water fountain as he smiles
"Want me to help ya wash or you got it?"
The rider asked to his mount, looking at the now bathing wyvern
[2:51 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: I can handle it myself. I might be aging, but I am yet to reach that point, Valentinus. The wyvern ducks his head beneath the water's surface, propelling himself downwards until he is fully submerged. Moments later, he bursts from the water again, with a satisfied shriek. How refreshing.
[3:00 PM] Abyssal John John: After he was reunited with Angard Jean had decided that both he and his Wyvern needed a long awaited bath. The two stayed close too each other as they walked the two nuzzling on each other like long lost lovers. Eventually the two came across a river which already seemed to be occupied by a man and his fluffy wyvern.
Who are these two? I doubt they're Khlinese Rebels and they don't seem like their enemies. I should still err on the side of caution though.... Jean called out to the man.
"Excuse me, but are you alright if me and my Wyvern also bathe her?"
[4:03 PM] Lawls: Chuckling to his wyvern before looking to the other male and his own, normal scaley wyvern
"Not at all,"
A soft smile is seen as he stretches out and speaks quietly
"Wonder if he saw my splash..."
[4:06 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero floats along in the lake steadily, attention focussed on the newcomers. His attention is naturally drawn more to the wyvern than its rider. Hm. Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Another wyvern. With a shriek of greeting, Nero wades over to Valentinus calmly.
[4:13 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean nodded.
The man seem to be nice enough at least. I really wouldn't want anymore trouble. Jean took off his clothes as he got into the lake with Angard. His Black Wyvern began to lovingly nudged him as he tried to wash her down.
"Oh come on Angard I can't give you a proper wash if you keep on nudging me, haha!"(edited)
[4:16 PM] Lawls: "Cmon. Nudge him into the water Asgard!"
A little bit too enthusiastic, the male smiles and looks to his own mount that wades beside him as he states quietly, directly talking to the wyvern
"They look nice... Wonder if they're with the queen..."
He states as he relaxes back and treads water awkwardly and idlely
[4:20 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Perhaps so. Why don't you ask? Nero goes silent for a moment, before turning his head to Valentinus. Or I could.
[4:26 PM] Lawls: "Oh yeah you can communicate with other wyverns... "
Valentinus looks to the wyvern smiles
"I'll do it... You can make small talk."
Val chuckles as he gives a goofy smile to his mount, commenting on his dislike for small talk
[4:31 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Very well. I shall try. Nero turns back to the rider and his mount, letting out a calm series of shrieks and animalistic grunts, discernable only to a wyvern. Greetings, stranger. I am Nero, of the Kurong. May I ask your name?
[4:34 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard perked up to Nero's call as the Black Wyvern looked to him.
Oh are you speaking to me? My name is Angard and the boy with me is Master Jean. It's very nice to meet you Nero.
[4:38 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: And my companion is Valentinus. The pleasure is mine, Angard. Nero raises his wings above the water, letting them dry. You and Master Jean, you seem close.
[4:42 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard nodded happily.
Of course. I've known Master Jean since he was a small child. There's nothing in this world that can sever the bond we hold with each other.
[4:44 PM] Lawls: "...Sounds like our wyverns are really hitting it off huh?"
Val tries to talk over the shrieks with small talk as he chuckles slightly
[4:47 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean nodded.
"They are indeed. My name is Jean Asmodeus and this wyvern here is Angard my companion. Would you be kind enough to tell us your and your Wyvern's name?"
[4:51 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Ah, I see. Admirable. Valentinus and I have not known each other for as long as you and Master Jean, then, but he has my utmost respect regardless. Nero motions to Angard's companion with a subtle nod of the head. Your friend seems like a human worthy of respect.
[4:52 PM] Lawls: "Oh, My name is Valentinus and this is my friend Nero."
Giving him a scratch on the head to indicate this he smiles at the wyvern
"Nice name you gave them."
Not wanting to mix up genders the male smiled and looked to the scaley beast
[4:54 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean nodded.
"Yes I think the name Angard fits her quite nicely. It was the name of a beautiful Dragon from a story I used to read as a child. When I first given Angard I knew that had to be her name.
[4:57 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard nodded in response to Nero's comment.
Of course. Master Jean is a truly caring man. I don't know what I would do without him. Angard looked towards Valentinus.
Your master seems to be quite the admirable young man as well. He seems to be of pure spirit.
[5:03 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Pure spirit is one way to put it. A low rumble, resembling a chuckle. But yes, he is quite the kindhearted man. I count myself lucky he stumbled upon me.
[5:06 PM] Lawls: "That is a lovely way to name her..."
Picking up on the male low rumble he smiles to his mount
"Well I used to call Nero... Uh... I think I called him something like buddy before he corrected me."
Looking to the fuzzy wyvern and giving a naive smile to him, he asks a question
"Isn't that right Nero?"
[5:08 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero gives Valentinus a nod. Correct. Nero was the name the travelling circus bestowed upon me.
[5:11 PM] Lawls: Always thought that was weird... That his parents did not give him a name...
The male smiles and looks to pal with a smile
"Well it's certainly better then buddy eh?"
Providing some humour on the subject at hand he gives slight shrug sort of look. Jean might find it weird how the person is straight up having a conversation with there wyvern
[5:12 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean just looked at the man as he talked to the Wyvern.
"Um...if you don't mind me asking but are you talking to your Wyvern?"
[5:15 PM] Lawls: "Hmm? Well yeah."
Valentinus looked to Jean as he said this, a slight eye brow raised before realising
Oh yeah. That's right...
[5:18 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero grunts in thought. ...You are going to have to answer that one. I barely understand it myself.(edited)
[5:27 PM] Lawls: "Well uh... I think it has to do with a spell I cast on us when we were younger... But uh. I've never been able to recreate it"
Looking to the wyvern he smiles
"Hell it didn't even happen straight away, it was when I woke up. Then I could understand Nero."
Scratching the back of his head he gives happy giggle, one that could be thought of naive bliss
[5:29 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean sighed.
"I would give anything to understand or talk to Angard. It's been a dream of mine since I've gotten her. You're quite lucky Valentinus." Angard made a quiet shriek as she nudged Jean's cheek.
I wish the same Master Jean. I truly do.
[5:36 PM] Lawls: "Well uh..."
Looking to his own wyvern, he looks back to Jean. Giving a quizical look
"If I can understand Nero and Nero can talk to Asgard... Wouldn't that mean I could be a like... Translator for you guys?"
Looking to his own wyvern
"That'd work... Right?'
The males book smarts coming into play as the male offers the idea(edited)
[5:38 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero dwells on it for a moment.
I believe you may be on to something.
He turns to Angard, and gives his fellow wyvern a nod.
Would you be willing to try it out? Perhaps you may be able to speak to Master Jean, after all.
[5:44 PM] Abyssal John John: Oh yes, yes and Yes! I would give anything in the world to be able to talk with Master Jean! Thank you so much Nero! Thank you! The Black Wyvern rushed up to Nero and gave him a hug with her wings while Jean just laughed.
"Well it seems like Angard is willing to give it a shot. Alright then let's see if this works!"
[5:45 PM] Lawls: "Hehe... Well would you like get dried first or you cool with having your first talk with your wyvern in the bath."
Giving a hearty laugh the male smiles sweetly at the rider and his mount as he himself is already cleaned up
[5:47 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero seems taken aback by the sudden movement, and snakes his neck above the hug, staying dead still.
Hm. Not a problem.
[5:50 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard backed up.
Okay. What should I try to tell him first? Oh I have so many things I would want him to know!!!!
[5:52 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Hm...
Lost in thought briefly, Nero stares at Angard idly, before lifting one wing.
How about just starting with a simple greeting? Let conversation take place from there.
[5:58 PM] Abyssal John John: Oh! Yes, Yes um...um hmmm.... Angard started to think on something that would be recognizable as something that she herself would say. Jean meanwhile got out of the pond as he put his clothes back on.
Ask Master Jean if we could go get some tea soon.
[6:00 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Tea? Very well.
Nero turns his head to Valentinus, craning his neck downwards.
Valentinus. Angard wants to know if she and Master Jean could go get some tea soon.(edited)
[6:04 PM] Lawls: "...Tea? Huh. Alrighty."
Clearing his voice the male looks towards Jean and smiles
"Angard wants to know if she and Master Jean could go get some tea soon.... Her words not mine."
Giving a heart laugh, Valentinus looks towards Jean to gauge his reaction
[6:12 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean turned around happily tears forming around his eyes.
"Yep, that's my Angard all right!" Jean hugged his wyvern his dearest friend.
"And of course we can get you tea whenever you like. They probably didn't feed you back in the prison so we should get you something to eat!"
[6:15 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Well, would you look at that. How heartwarming.
Nero speaks up again, his cries quite loud.
I believe we have found a solution, then. Anything else you would like to say?
[6:21 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard shook her head.
Oh I don't want to overwhelm you so fast Nero. There's just so much I want to say to him. I'm...I'm just so happy. Thank you two so much.
[6:23 PM] Lawls: "It is really heart warming... Isn't it..."
Valentinus smiled and looked to the two as he asked a question
"Oh. You wouldn't happen to work for Queen Luna would you Jean?"
Valentinus said with a smile, looking towards the rider
[6:26 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean nodded.
"Um yes I'm a part of Queen Luna's forces. Why are you hoping to join her?" Jean scratched under Angard's neck.
It's strange that Luna seems to have that power, to bring people to her side even when she is nowhere around....
[6:27 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: It is no issue. Let us know if you would like to continue some other time, though.
Nero wades over to Valentinus' side, and cranes his neck over his companion's shoulder.
Well, that was quick. We have already met two allies, and we have not even set foot inside the camp.
[6:32 PM] Lawls: "Hehe... Yeah, wonder if I could just stay out here and meet all of our allies..."
The male gave off a laugh and mimicked Jean out of mind, scratching his own wyverns fuzzy neck
"Well uh, I just met up with Ellis just before and she told me that the queen was missing... But you guys were her still her group... Oh and she said we could join you guys."
Val gave off a smile and looked to the scaley 2nd best wyvern.
"So you guys'll have us around whenever ya need to talk"
A toothy grin was shown, much like that of a wyvern on Vals face
[6:38 PM] Abyssal John John: "Oh Princess Ellis is here? What is she doing all the way out here I thought she was still at the Castle. I guessed I must have missed something when I ran off to find Angard...." Jean scratched his head.
Perhaps I shouldn't had dashed off as soon as we got outside. But I had to make sure Angard was safe first and foremost.
[6:39 PM] Lawls: "I'm uh... Not too sure. She was hella mean to Nero though..."
Giving him a pet, Valentinus comforts the wyverns and chuckles
"Oh but Nero scared the hell outta her though."
[6:41 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero raises his wings, lowering his head to just above the surface of the water, mouth wide open in a menacingly aggressive stance.
Like so. Perhaps next time, she will know to show me a little respect.
[6:56 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean gave a confused look.
"Really huh? I wouldn't peg the princess as the mean type. When I talked to her she seemed so meek and soft-spoken. Can't imagine her being rude to any kind of creature." Jean looked to Valentinus.
"I do wonder what's happened to cause her to be here though. Perhaps I can ask someone to get me up to speed...."
[7:10 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: She was hardly meek and soft-spoken to us. Called me a beast, glared at me. Why, it took every ounce of my resolve not to whip her with a well-aimed tail.
Nero proudly stands beside Valentinus, neck straight upwards in the air.
For her sake, I hope she has the decency to treat me as an equal next time. Wyverns are more than mere flying lizards.
[7:13 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard nodded.
I agree, its such a shame so many cannot see that.
[7:14 PM] Lawls: "Yeah maybe..."
Giving the male an idle scratch on the neck, Val asked Nero
"Speaking to Asgard eh? I feel like I'm missing out hehe."
The male stated as his tone had a tone of joking with it, smiling goofily at his wyvern
[7:17 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean laughed in response.
"Yeah, it'd be nice if they could truly speak to us like Ziusudra, but even she can only really say a few phrases she decided to pick up on."
[7:19 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Ah, you are not missing anything important, Valentinus. Just idle chatter.
Nero tilts his head at Jean's words.
Hm? Who is this Ziusudra?
[7:20 PM] Lawls: "Ah alright,"
Valentinus looks back to Jean
"Nero says we're not missing much, just some idle chatter... Wait who is Ziusudra?"
The male tilted his head as he looks to the other fellow rider
[7:20 PM] Abyssal John John: Oh Master Jean is talking about Little Ziusudra. She's a wyvern owned by Miss Praline a cousin of his. She's um...quite interesting to say the least.
[7:24 PM] Abyssal John John: "Ziusudra is my cousin Praline's wyvern. She's a tiny little Terrain Wyvern and they're known to be able mimic phrases that they hear. Of course Ziusudra picked the most important phrases like, "No Train, Apples Now, and They did it." Jean let out a chuckle remininsicing about his time with Praline.
"She and Praline butt heads a lot but you can tell they really love each other as well and in battle the two make a fearful combination."
[7:27 PM] Lawls: Being somewhat enthralled with the story of this parrot like wyvern, The brown haired tallish male exuded a small sound of amazement before looking towards him
"A small wyvern that can mimick the sounds of people around her..."
Looking to his own wyvern the male floods his own mind with different hypothetical ways that he could teach Nero to mimick people. Many of them stupid magical ways, but he has a few drops of 'brilliance' here and there as he gets lost in his own thoughts. Something of regular occurance.
[7:29 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: The Kurong wyvern coos quietly.
You have that expression again, Valentinus. What are you thinking of now?
[7:33 PM] Lawls: "Hmm..."
Looking to the wyvern he was realised he was spoken too, not remember what the wyvern said. He took a wild shot in the dark of what it was, although he did catch a single word in his mind
"Hmm?"
Valentinus smiles and scratches his head as he looks to the wyvern
"Well I was just thinking of different ways you might be able to learn mimicry... You already seem to be able to think in english... or... I can understand wyvern? Either way it might make it a bit easier for you bud... Plus I could see if I could brew up a spell to help us..."
Once again in thought the male thinks of the different spells he could use
[7:35 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean gave Valentinus a strange look.
"Are you trying to figure out how you can get Nero to speak?"
[7:37 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: ...Hm. Do you think I need to learn to speak? It has not proved to be necessary so far...
Nero lifts both wings briefly, mimicking a shrug.
It could prove useful, I suppose. Just, if we are going to try this... Make sure you understand what you are doing.
[7:40 PM] Lawls: "Hehe... Just hypothesising."
The bookworm-y rider looks happy as he's given himself a self challenge. Looking to the wyvern he gives off another smile, it's still happy but it's almost nostalgic.
"I mean you wouldn't need to learn how to speak per se... But teaching an old wyvern new tricks sounds fun..."
Looking down he speaks to himself
"...Wait is that how to the saying goes?"
He looks visibly confused as he scans his brain trying to think of the answer
[7:42 PM] Abyssal John John: "I think the saying is you can't teach an old dog new tricks which is the complete opposite of what you mean." Jean looked up to Nero. While the wyvern's size was nothing compared to Geneaolgia's size the wyvern did look much older compared to the one's he had encountered.
"As a question how old is Nero?"
[7:42 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: It isn't, but no matter.
Nero begins to chatter to Angard again.
He is planning another magical experiment, by the sounds of it. I cannot wait to see what colour my fur turns this time.
[7:44 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard let out a shriek almost like a chuckle.
Oh my! Sounds like quite the tiring experience. Does this happen often?
[7:46 PM] Lawls: "Fourty... Two? Fourty three?"
Looking to his friend he wants a reminder
"You're fourty something... Aren't ya Nero?"
[7:51 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Often-ish. Usually, whatever he does is temporary, so I have no reason not to let him mess around a bit. Nero interrupts the conversation briefly to correct Valentinus. Exactly fourty.
[7:53 PM] Abyssal John John: Wow you've lived for quite a long time Nero! I'm only fifteen myself and I'm only 15!
[7:53 PM] Lawls: "Exactly fourty he said."
The male smiled and looked to Asgard
"How old is she?"
[7:54 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean looked to Nero.
"Wow he's currently lived a while. Angard is only 15 years of age herself."
[7:56 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Yes, well, I'm nearing the end of my days, I fear. I am nowhere near the wyvern I used to be. Nero shakes his head. But let us not dwell on such thoughts. Fifteen years, hm? So you are still quite young.
[7:58 PM] Lawls: "Wow... She looks quite mature for how old she is."
Val chuckles and looks to Asgard
"Although that's to be expected with wyverns... Aint it."
The rider jokingly states as he looks towards the fellow rider
[8:00 PM] Abyssal John John: Yes I am. Master Jean's Mother bought me when I was a week old. Angard paused before continuing.
It's nice to be able to talk to another Wyvern again. I've really taken my little conversations with Ziusudra for granted. I've truly missed having them.
[8:02 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean nodded.
"Of course and her mature and refined personality helps with that as well.Though I will admit I do miss the days when Angard was still tiny and would happily jump into my arms."
[8:03 PM] Lawls: "Hehe... How small was she Jean?"
Valentinus asked with wonderment and awe. Smiling softly at the male
[8:05 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Yes, this is quite pleasant. For all my travels, I have not met many other wyverns. Valentinus is astounding company, but it does get lonely. So I do appreciate this conversation.
[8:08 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean sighs.
"When first got her she was only a foot tall not even bigger then a teddy bear. Back then she so snuggly fit into my arms. Back then she used to be a lot more wild, running all around the mansion and taking in all the sights. It feels so strange that she's now so big now."
[8:10 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard looked towards Jean before looking back to Nero. Of course though I was but a babe back then. I learned how to control myself quite quickly though.
[8:12 PM] Lawls: "Awwwww!"
Valentinus looks absolutely cute-stricken as he looks to his mount
"I found Val we he was... Thirty Five. So I never got to see his smaller side... Although he's still my lil babby."
Giving the wyverns a side hug and smiled to Jean
"Wonder if you were cuter back then Nero..."
[8:12 PM] Lawls: "...Naaaaah."
[8:14 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Hmhmhm! I will have you know, I was quite the looker in my youth. Nero wraps one wing about Valentinus.
[8:16 PM] Lawls: "I mean I wouldn't say you weren't... But ya still a looker now... Even with those gray hairs popping out."
The male said jokingly, looking to his grassy green fuzz
[8:19 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean perked up.
"That reminds me, what kind of Wyvern is Nero? Is he some species native to another land? Out of the other two wyverns I know and the wyverns I've seen enemies ride he is quite a unique one." Jean looked at the furry Wyvern again.
[8:20 PM] Lawls: "He's from the Kurong Forest... RIght?"
Val looked to the wyvern for confirmation of his absent mindedness
[8:21 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Correct. The Kurong Forest, of New Patria.
[8:23 PM] Lawls: "Kurong Forest of New Patria."
The male says with a smile using the hug as a mechanism to brush the males hair as an example
"It's why he's got this big ol bushy hair everywhere instead of scales"(edited)
[8:26 PM] Abyssal John John: "Interesting. Guess that means he beats the wyvern I know from the furthest place. At least I've read up about Parangelía from some books I've read." Angard slightly shuddered upon hearing Parangelía, knowing exactly who her master was referring too.
[8:28 PM] Lawls: "Parangelia? I've read a lot of books in my time but... I don't actually know that region... You wouldn't happen to have the book on you would you?"
Suddenly very interested in finding out new information the male spies up and down Jean
[8:29 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean shook his head.
"I do not. It's back home and I doubt I'll be returning there anytime soon."
[8:29 PM] Lawls: "Oh. Fair enough, if you don't mind me asking... Where do you hail from?"
[8:30 PM] Abyssal John John: "Oh I come from Gennuir Valenheim myself."
[8:31 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Oh, Valenheim. That's where you're from, isn't it?
[8:32 PM] Lawls: His hands locking up for a split second in the wyverns fur his light hearted attitude comes back as he looks to the Wyvern
"Hehe, Yep."
Looking back to the fellow rider he smiles
"I actually come from Valenheim too coincidentally."
[8:35 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean gave a shocked look. Usually he tried to his best to avoid others from Valenheim. It's the reason he always turned the other way when he could see Lark coming his way. Well his blinding armor anyway. But Valentinus seemed kind enough at the very least.
"Truly? Well it's nice to have someone from my country joining our band."
[8:36 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard leaned towards Nero and whispered.
He usually isn't this open and jovial with others from Valenheim. Seems like Valentinus here has become an exception to the rule.
[8:38 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Is that so? Why not? Just not fond of his homeland?
[8:40 PM] Abyssal John John: He...Master Jean doesn't have a lot of good memories from home. He wasn't happy back then.
[8:41 PM] Lawls: Quite nervous, he puts on a light hearted laugh and scratches the side of his head
I'm just happy two people acknowledged my existance.
"It is always nice to have someone from a familar teritory then you..."
*...That was awkward as all hell..."
Somewhat uncomfortable the male tries to do his best to shake it off
"I'll actually be glad to meet other people from other places though..."
[8:42 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean nodded.
"Indeed dear Valentinus! Me and you think alike. One of the best parts of traveling is meeting different kinds of people and their way of life. There is truly nothing like it!"
[8:44 PM] Lawls: A huge smile on his face of genuine happiness, the male smiles at his newly formed rider friend
"It'll be great fun meeting all the differents sorts of people... And the Queen! I bet she'll be super kind and understanding."
The male looking up a bit and tilting a bit as he thought out loud
"Gotta be better then her sis..."
[8:46 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean scratched his head.
"Yes the queen is currently unique to say the least but she has a good heart."
Master Jean isn't sure that Queen Luna is truly fit to rule but she respects Wyverns so she's good with me!
[9:21 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Does she now? Well, that is a relief. I have a distaste for royalty, but at least she has that going for her.
[9:23 PM] Abyssal John John: She does indeed. I think she and little Ziusudra would get along quite well. We wyverns are truly too be cherished. Well...most of us are....
[9:23 PM] Lawls: "Unique? How so Jean?"
Tilting his head ever so slightly the male has a dull, but present smile on his face
[9:25 PM] Abyssal John John: "Um....well she's kind of wild. She's more of a bandit leader then a Queen. But she's an okay woman. I do worry for her though. I haven't seen her since the battle at Kranhai. I pray she got to Concordia safely..."
[9:25 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Most of us? It sounds like you are making an exception.
[9:26 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard stayed silent for a bit.
I would....rather not talk about that exception....
[9:26 PM] Lawls: "A... Bandit leader? But I thought she would of been lady like and all of that..."
Val looked down at the two of the wyverns talking
"Guess I was wrong, Hehe..."
[9:29 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero nods solemnly. Understood. ...Ah, this Queen, she sounds like a likeable human. I look forward to meeting her, if she is as you say.(edited)
[9:30 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard nods in response.
I think you will both like her a lot. This whole army is full of interesting people to meet.
[9:31 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean just laughs.
"Can't judge a book by its cover right? But still I would be happy to know I have an ally like you on our side."
[9:32 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero tilts his head, seemingly enthused by some possibility he has dreamt up. ...Would there happen to be any other wyverns amongst this group?
[9:32 PM] Lawls: "Oh! Of course. Nero tells me that all the time!"
Valentinus smiles and and pats Val to show this
[9:34 PM] Abyssal John John: Angard tilted her head.
Well there is Bahamut. He's an older Wyvern like you. But he's pretty standoffish and quite rude. But that may be because of my age so you two may get along better then we do.
[9:37 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Standoffish and rude, hm? Well, not exactly desirable traits, but perhaps he will be more open to myself. One can only hope. Nero turns his head to Valentinus upon being pet. Hm? Ah, yes, judging books and whatnot. I do say that a fair amount.
[9:39 PM] Lawls: Valentinus giggles as he looks to his friend
"Seems like you and Asgard are hittin' it off eh?"
[9:41 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Of course. She is quite agreeable. I find our conversation interesting.
[9:42 PM] Lawls: Laughing happily the male continues to have a hand placed on Nero
"Well I'm happy you've finally got to speak to a wyvern again and that you're enjoying it."
The males smile is very visible, obviously happy for Nero
[9:44 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean nods as well.
"Of course and I'm glad Angard has another Wyvern to talk too. And now we can talk to each other as well." Jean scratched under Angard's neck.
"But would you like to accompany me back to the camp. It might take me a while to find it but I have a good hunch on where everybody is."
[9:46 PM] Lawls: "I would love to, Let's just get dried off first."
The male led the wyvern and himself out of the pond to get dried as he himself was only in his jocks(edited)
[9:49 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean laughed.
"Yes of course take your time." Angard nodded as Jean dried her off.
[9:50 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: A familiar rumbling sound comes from Nero. Hmhmhm! Drying off is simple, Valentinus. All it takes is clear skies. Picking up speed on foot as he leaves the lake, he propels himself into the air with his large wings, and glides about the skies above the lake. The rushing air forces most of the moisture from his fur with ease.
[9:51 PM] Lawls: "H-Hey! It aint so simple for me though, I gotta like... Do the seperate limbs and everything!"
The rider chuckled as he got his clean towel and dried himself off as he yelled out as well. Drying off rather quickly
[9:56 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean chuckled at the two.
"Hmm. Those two seem nice together don't they...." Angard nodded.
"You know when I kind of thought if it wasn't for our family name that Nikolai and Geneaolgia would have ended up like this?" Angard gave a loud and surprised shriek.
Geneaolgia! Why would you compare dear Nero to that demon? Jean just sighed not understanding her words but understanding her general stance.
"I know its weird to think about but him seeing himself as my inferior is what causes him to do the things he does. It's hard to blame him for it...I thought a lot about that in the prison." Jean sighed wondering if Nikolai was still around Khlin willing to help anybody who paid him.
I wonder if he even knows I'm still alive...Perhaps he's already gone to brag to father and uncle that I was slain. Looking back over to Valentinus and Nero Jean called out to them.
"Hey! You two ready to go?"
[10:00 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: A loud shriek, echoing throughout the skies, signals Nero's answer. Ready.
[10:02 PM] Lawls: Placing his axe by his side and the rest of his armour on the male states with a smile
"I think that's a yes."
He states while looking up
"You gonna come down or you gonna fly over us Nero?"
The male yelled out to whilst looking for him
[10:03 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: I leave the decision to you, Valentinus. Do you want a ride back?
[10:04 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean smiled.
"How about we fly together! It'll be easier to find the camp from above, right Angard?" The black wyvern nodded in agreement.
[10:04 PM] Lawls: "I'd love to!"
Answering both questions with one swoop he beckons the wyvern to come down and sweep him off his feet
[10:08 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Then here I come. Folding his wings in and pointing his neck straight forwards, Nero begins to descend rapidly from the skies, only opening his wings again to slow himself down and land with a loud thud next to Valentinus. He leans his neck down, and gestures to Valentinus with his head to hop onto his back. All aboard.
[10:09 PM] Lawls: With an excited sprint the male runs forward and hops on his back. Smiling all the while
"Alright... Ready!"
I love this part.
Getting ready to feel the clouds on his skin, Valentinus looked ahead to see there destination
[10:09 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean smiled as he looked at his own Wyvern.
"Let's go Angard! It'll be fun to soar in the skies with you after so long!"
Of course Master Jean! Jean hopped onto his wyvern's back more then eager to soar again.
"Are you ready to go you two?"
[10:11 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Absolutely. Nero unfurls his wings, preparing for takeoff. After you, Angard.
[10:14 PM] Abyssal John John: Thank you Nero. You are quite the gentlemen. The Black wyvern stretched her wings as she started to run forward before she lifted off easily catching air as she usually did. Jean was exhilarated.
"I never realized how much I took this for granted!"
[10:31 PM] Plummeting Ursa | Romp: Nero follows behind Angard, and with a similar action (albeit with a bit more effort due to his significant size), he is soon airborne as well. Hold on tight, Valentinus. We do not have a saddle this time around.
[10:33 PM] Lawls: Grabbing tightly with onehand and leaving the other hand free he laughs up a storm, one of intense happiness
"Haha! Yeah!"
Putting his arm up to feel the wind, his smile is planted across his face as he smiles and happily laughs. It's quite obvious he loves lesiurely flys on his wyvern as his expression tells it all
[10:35 PM] Abyssal John John: Jean was clearly happy as well.
"Alright then let's go! Follow my lead!"Jean patted Angard's neck as she flew towards Fort Ikkigane.
[10:36 PM] Lawls: And so the two did with laughter and smiles. Mostly from the riders part
[10:37 PM] Abyssal John John: ===END RP===
